21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
aboue ech principat, and potestat, and vertu, and domynacioun, and aboue ech name that is named, not oneli in this world, but also in the world to comynge; (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,

23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
that is the bodi of hym, and the plente of hym, which is alle thingis in alle thingis fulfillid.
